http://www.refuze.com/ending-2016-and-starting-2017-with-a-bang/#respondThu, 29 Dec 2016 03:36:02 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2682Are you excited to end the year and start a new one?

Sometimes getting pumped up is not enough. You must have a solid goal and a strategy in place if you really want to make all your excitement count. But this is not as easy as it sound. A lot of individuals start the year great but lost momentum after just a couple of months or even weeks. If you are guilty of this then I am here to help you out.

One reason why someone fail to achieve what they want is because they don't have clarity on what they want to do or how to actually make something happen!

With only a couple of days before 2017 kicks-off, it is important that you take the time to have clarity on your goals and what you want to achieve in the year. This will enable you to launch into 2017 and hit the ground running from the start of the year.

Here are some tips:

Reflect on the year that was so you are conscious and aware of what you did well and what you can improve upon for next year.

Have a clear vision for your life as a whole. This is about having clarity on your biggest life goals. What do you want your life to look and feel like a year from now? 5years from now? 10 years from now? This ties back into having clarity on your purpose and mission in life.

You need to have absolute clarity on what you need to focus on and achieve in 2017 that will lead you to your bigger vision in life.

Break down your goals in a way that you have a very clear action plan. This will enable you to hit January 1 and know exactly what you need to do to move towards your goals.

That's really just the start of it. If you have clarity on these four things, then you're going to be in the top 2% of high-performers world-wide.

To help you with this, I have made the Journey Journal available for FREE instead of charging you $9.95 when you sign up for the FREE membership in The Refuze Community.

The Journey Journal is tested and proven because I personally use it every year. It helps me keep track of my priorities, gives me absolute clarity on what my goals are and how I am going to achieve them. It's the #1 Tool that’s all about setting my year up for success.

Now is the perfect time for you to do the same thing.

Being a Refuze-nuer is not only about getting the Journal for Free. It’s about committing to living your life above average. It is about being in a community that offers you the tools, resources and knowledge that will not only help you become successful but also explore your potential.

So if you want to enter 2017 with absolute clarity on what your goals are and how to go about achieving them and become a better version of who you are now then what are you waiting for? Sign up now with no fee and become a member of the Refuze Community.

Wishing you all the best!

http://www.refuze.com/three-pillars-to-r2la-aware-align-activation/#respondTue, 13 Dec 2016 02:15:05 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2564Prior to starting Refuze, I was in a deep depression not knowing where my life was headed. I accepted jobs that would hire me. I constantly went from one idea to the next. One disappointment after another.

Having all three of my best friends die before the age of 30, left me in a crossroads of either wanting to suffer the same fate, or make a drastic difference in my life. As it were, the death of my third friend by suicide lit a fire in me, deciding to never do that to my family or to my own namesake. I would do whatever it took to recover from whatever I was seemingly suffering from.

After more than 10 years and thousands of dollars invested in books, courses, seminars, training and therapy, what I learned I was suffering from... was me. After understanding this, and learning how many other men silently share the same destructive desperation I once felt, I made it my mission to make this information understandable and accessible to everyone.

Now I have distilled down all that I have learned and used to create massive change in myself and my clients, into it’s simplest terms and this is the basis of all that I offer.

Refuze to Live Average Coaching focuses on three areas: Awareness, Alignment, and Activation. These were the areas I found to be the most effective where purposeful effort created the greatest amount of progress toward happiness and fulfillment in my life and many others.

Awareness

All that you believe isn’t true and you aren’t nearly accessing a fraction of your true potential. Because of this, you spend your days trying, forcing, and wanting instead of knowing, being, and just doing. Until you begin to expose and understand the systems which are at work producing your results, your destined to live a life being determined by outside forces. In this portion of our training we focus on Resetting your Defaults and Equipping you with appropriate tools you need to begin creating your life on purpose. You need to unlearn all that you think you know and rebuild your databases with accurate information, specific to you.

Alignment

Is your life congruent with your core values, your truest desires, and your greatest potential? Are your decisions and actions in conflict with your preferred outcomes? Has your environment been provided or decided? In order to create your world, you need to participate in all the elements which can affect it.

Activation

Take action. Create. Express yourself. To fully connect with your existence, you need to put your signature on it, build your legacy. In order for men to find true fulfillment they need to penetrate the earth with their creation. We have to engage fully in life in order to feel complete and validated. You are always producing results. They are either the results you want or the ones you don’t want?

As humans, all that we ever need is inside of us. We live in an environment where what it means to be us is attacked from the moment we are introduced to the world. Some allow it to be buried so deep they learn to accept what the world has to offer and die disappointed and unfulfilled. This was unacceptable to me and since you are reading this post, it’s my belief this is unacceptable to you as well. Take time for deep introspection and begin applying intentional effort in the three area I listed above and you will immediately begin to convert your life into one of your choosing.

If you are interested in all the free resources you need to guide you on your journey, log into Refuze and enjoy.

We’re in this together,

http://www.refuze.com/morning-routines/#respondWed, 07 Dec 2016 04:21:39 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2529Having a morning ritual is one of those opportunities where we can make an empowering choice, or not. This choice, will certainly be a foreshadowing of the results we receive the rest of the day. Project that out into the future and it should be glaringly obvious if you want to life an extraordinary life, start the day off with that type of effort and the rest will fall in line.

Consider any other person who has reached the level of achievement you are hoping to match or exceed. Do you see them rolling over and hitting the snooze button 3 times. I find difficulty even imagining when they have the time to even sleep, let alone oversleep or drag their feet…

The benefits of a good morning routine:

Completing your morning routine starts the day off with a victory !!

Disciplined routines are easier to be consistent. 100% is Easy

Predictable results

More energy and focus, increasing productivity throughout the day

Morning routines encourage healthier & happier decisions throughout the day

Having a morning routine has definitely had an enormous impact on my overall progress and daily satisfaction. I enjoy knowing every day I am starting off with an effort to improve myself. This feeling stays with me throughout the day and benefits me in every way.

The fact is, we all have morning routines. Just some serve us better than others. Some will launch into being effective, some will support our remaining complacent and static. When you are ready to begin introducing a positive results oriented routine, my recommendation is to start off small. Begin with one item, and celebrate its regular completion. When you are ready, introduce another. As you add items, also increase their intensity to continually promote growth.

And don’t stop there. This translates into every other area of your life you can create routines for… an evening routine, an after work routine, a lunch hour routine, etc.

We all have 24 hours in our day. What decides the fate of some verses others quite often comes down to their routines….. Get on board !!

We’re in this together,

Thank you,

http://www.refuze.com/past-present-future/#respondTue, 06 Dec 2016 03:39:43 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2526In this simple post, I would like to offer you three easy concepts which can change the rest of your life… if you choose to allow them to.

The Past:Forgive and accept the past with gratitude and appreciation.

It no longer exists except for the story you tell yourself and the meaning you give it.

The Present:Participate in the present. Show up, engage, be aware.

We live in our heads too much. which is filled with external input,

The Future:Anticipate the future with excitement and confidence. Develop the knowing “living the disciplines creates the life you desire”.

It’s simple mathematics. 1 + 1 = 2. If you eat healthy and exercise properly, you will know the type of body you will have. You don’t have to worry about becoming unfit. If you read and implement the learning, your outcomes are determinable.

We’re in this together,

http://www.refuze.com/questions-to-finding-your-purpose/#respondSun, 04 Dec 2016 17:50:47 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2521There is such an established perception of what “success and happiness” are made of. It’s critical we stop and ask ourselves if this accepted reality is true for us. We neglect to recognize the two most important pieces to fulfilling of our human needs are growth and contribution. For most, our current paths are ignoring both of these potentials. We are continuously fed by short term meaningless pleasures or guided into an existence whose outcome is to just get by, at best. It’s no wonder Huffington Post reports the number one greatest regret of the dying is “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”. As men, this couldn’t be more true.

Society has manipulated the male role in business and family to be a watered down version of what once was a noble position. What once were gracious, strategic, suave gentlemen have now been replaced with ill mannered, reactive, victims. We need to get back to our core mission as men on this planet which is to penetrate the earth. This desire is hardwired into our DNA. This is not only done physically by obvious means, it is also satisfied on a much deeper level through our creativity and serving our purpose.

Purpose is not a subject widely discussed in male circles these days. Though we live in a world with greater access than ever to every possibility available to us, we are brought up to believe this potential is merely a pipe dream. Something which is only pursued once everything else is taken care of. We are going backward. Innovation, advancement, and our very ability to continue to exist on this planet is driven by individuals pursuing their missions to overcome these obstacles. Making their passions, visions, and uniqueness available for our benefit. Everything man made, was created by people tapping into the deepest crevices of their minds to release what only they have access to. Inside each one of us is the answer to endless possibly.

This rarely surfaces on its own. Instead, one must embark on a life long journey to become their very best and express it to their best ability so they may know on their dying bed, they lived full, died empty, and had the greatest impact they possibly could while they were here. Only then, will the results of their deeds carry long into the generations to follow, building on where they left off instead of allowing the candles of to burn out

Here are 10 thoughtful questions developed to spark your curiosity. To guide your attention inward in search for what exists deep down inside in places you never thought to look.

What did I always want to be when I grew up? What was it about this that sparked my excitement?

If money wasn’t the issue, what would I do with my life?

Where in my past did I feel the most alive? What activity was I performing? What specifically about that activity was fueling my heart?

What skills am I naturally good at performing? What skills do I enjoy developing further?

What advice do my friends come to me for? Have I naturally become the “expert” at a certain subject?

If I had to read a book on a subject, what book could I finish with ease?

What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?

What have I not pursued “because of someone (or something) else”?

What story would I like my grandkids (or future generations) to say about me?

If I were to die today, what would I regret not becoming?

Take your time with this questions, while also allowing the answers to flow from within you without judgement. What may seem absurd to you at the moment, could very well be the exact answer you have been avoiding.

Thank you,

http://www.refuze.com/coaching-consulting-mentoring-oh-my/#respondWed, 30 Nov 2016 01:35:21 +0000http://refuze.com/?p=2488When I first got into coaching, I was surprised to see how disciplined coaching was in its methods toward approaching and encouraging breakthroughs in clients. I was also surprised to find the confusion people had, mistaking this service for mentoring or consulting.

In this post, I’ll clarify the differences between coaching, mentoring, and consulting. This way, if you are interested in seeking assistance in any one of these areas, you can be sure you’re directing your attention toward the right one. Also, if you are a provider of these services, it’s always nice to know where your offer should stop and where you are providing something different.

These 3 have the ability to overlap but are each very specific in themselves.

Coaching

Coaching is asking the right questions to cause a person to think creatively, create answers, and develop their own motivation. There are times where we get so wrapped up in our ways of thinking we miss opportunities, perspectives, and alternatives which are sitting right in front of us. Question have the ability to spark untapped resourcefulness. Once this well have been uncovered, breakthroughs immediately follow.

Some of the most effective questions I’ve asked in coaching are extremely simple, but uncommon in normal conversation. Here are a few I invite you to try out sometime when you’re stumped and seeking a solution.

What would you do if you did know ...? (or any variation to eliminate an “I don’t know” response)

How will you remember to do this? (Creating accountability for action)

What meaning are you giving that? (When our emotions get the best of us)

Mentoring

Mentoring is acting as an experienced and trusted adviser. Using your knowledge in a specific field, topic, or industry to guide others to recognize opportunities they are overlooking. Assisting someone to become more effective, efficient, and successful.

An example of this could be a mentor bringing to light where there are gaps in your relationships and advise you to seek assistance with communication skills and career management. In business a mentor could determine you are not utilizing email lists or creating additional online revenue streams effectively. They would pass you off to someone who could bring those technical skills to assist develop that. Many coaches progress to mentoring when their knowledge supports the conversation.

Consulting

Consulting not only uses expert knowledge on a certain topic, field or industry, they also bring the technical knowledge to facilitate detailed solutions within that certain arena. Not only do they extract your preferred outcomes, they’ll expose the the gaps to get there, and can advise the best methods to do so. Extract, expose, and execute. Consultants can be the meeting point between coaching and mentoring, however they do not fully replace either.

From the examples above, a consultant would take over where the mentors left off and would participate fully seeing the solution to the end. They would provide the specific solutions needed in both cases.

Though these often get confused and even overlapped by the service providers, Coaches help you come up with what you want and your belief behind achieving it, Mentors show you the way to get there, and Consultants provide you the means and tools to actually get there. Each one of these services requires its own level of competencies and even carry the justification for some pretty substantial pricing differences.
